Hi!
Something has puzzled me for a while. I see many posts suggest that people playing feral cat use addons like Ovale, Badkitty, etc to suggest which moves to use next. Because we have a fairly complex priority system I suppose.
Now, I'm honestly not trying to verbaly insult anyone or anything like that, but I am genuinely puzzled why you choose to play a Feral cat but at the same time wants an addon to tell you which skill to use next? Aren't you then loosing the entire appeal of the class? Aren't you denying yourself the most rewarding part of playing the class? Aren't you then missing all the fun??
I played a rogue until deep into ICC. At that point my rogue was basically reduced to building combopoints with Mutilate and using Envenom as my finisher. In the end I was bored to death playing it, it had finaly become too simple, so I started toying with the idea of playing a more challenging class and feral cat looked cool, since it was roguelike, just more challenging (ok, a lot more challenging!). What a thrill to swap to this class. My old brain had to work overtime trying to optimize and perfect my game from raid to raid.
It was so cool swapping to a class where no matter how well you did on a fight, you could always look back and think that you could probably have timed this and that a little better. Whereas as a rogue I almost always found myself thinking that I couldn't have played that fight any better.
As a reasonably new feral cat I am clueless as to why some of you take away the most appealing aspect of the class, by using addons to suggest what skill to use next. I know its not lack of skills, because some of you are probably much better players than me.
Is it really just the urge to optimize DPS a little more than what you would have been able to yourself? Or is it the need to not have to pay as much attention to timers on progress that makes you use them?
Either way I don't think I get it. Then it would make more sense to reroll to an easier and higher potential DPS class (like a rogue!)
To me using Ovale and the likes is almost like cheating. That is if I have understood it correct: that it is an addon that suggests which skill to use next.
Is it just me being weird??
